Uncle Fester (played on the big-screen by Christopher Lloyd) is hardly the creepiest member of the Addams family, but he might give strangers the biggest start. The joke is that he's actually really a sweet guy once you get to know him. In short: Uncle Fester is a completely hairless, hunched, and barrel-shaped man with dark, sunken eyes and often a deranged smile. He also has a strange ability to generate electricity. He would often demonstrate this (in film as well as television) by putting a light bulb in his mouth, which would illuminate, accompanied by a loud, crackling noise. Despite Uncle Fester's menacing look and bizarre behavior he is actually gentle and caring to everyone. He has never been involved in any altercation in his entire life and is very loving to his family. He shows great respect to Gomez, his older brother, and Morticia (Gomez's wife). He has always exhibited love and great care to his niece and nephews, despite their frequent naughtiness. Though, if you were to see him on the street, youd probably walk the other way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mw0IakmQri0
